Last post by Johnny Haywire - December 29, 2025, 04:34:15 PMSee my comments in map #11642.
If you terp everything on the top (set your emitter to the slow burst cycle), the mortar won't be as effective. I went to the right first, and attacked stuff that way.

Last post by Johnny Haywire - December 29, 2025, 04:30:49 PMTerp as much as you can. Click "Terraform" and then shift-click on a level 10 area to set the terps to level 10. If you aren't sure what to terp or you're confused - just pause the game and terp everything to level 10. Literally. Everything. All the way down because why not. Not my favorite way to roll, but it's effective.
You do need to get moving though, because if you still only have one emitter when the bertha stars firing, it might be too late. But there was plenty of time to grab that next emitter, AFTER I'd terped all over the place.
Once you get rolling, the map is enjoyable. The first PZ you capture is pretty much the sole challenge in the game. After that, it's all downhill. Or down tree.
Thanks for the map! =)

Last post by Johnny Haywire - December 29, 2025, 12:23:10 PMSolid 9/10 for me as well - thoroughly enjoyed this map!
I can't remember ever having more fun with spores than I did on this map. I mixed it up and used only spores but switched to emitters to take the three CN positions.
This map does a great job showing how utterly useless shields are in most circumstances, but how they *can* be effective, when accompanied by multiple stacked cannons, mortars, and beams - all on PZ's.
The base in the upper-right was fun to capture. I couldn't even see inside the base for all the shields, and I'd be interested in knowing how many shields were placed there. I think the difficultly of this battle could be increased several notches and it'd still be lots of fun. The multiple, almost independent bases is a great idea and you've brilliantly executed it. So glad you're making these again!

Last post by Karsten75 - December 29, 2025, 10:12:19 AMWell, not strictly "download", but you can save if as soon as it loads in the game. You can then move that save into the editor to work on it.
You can find the save at:
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\creeperworld4\saves\colonies
Look for the folder with a number equal to the map number.
To put the map in the editor, create a new folder with then name that you want to use for the map in this path:
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\creeperworld4\editor
For further questions and a quicker turnaround, use our Discord.
NOTE: if you use Onedrive then the folders may be in a different location:
%OneDrive%\Documents\My Games\creeperworld4\saves\colonies
and
%OneDrive%\Documents\My Games\creeperworld4\editor

Your fleet has warped into the dark sector, luckily away from patrols. The enemy has tight control over the energy sources. Conserve your resources and bootstrap your production using the Gen fleet.

Last post by toolforger - December 28, 2025, 06:47:59 PMDarnit. That's the first PAC map where I don't see a way out of the start.
I can clear out the top no problem, I can put most cannons behind walls, but there are enough cannons and that sprayer that I can't wall off which will prevent any creeper ca. 3 squares above the red plateau.
I find myself unable to progress in any meaningful way - what am I missing?
